Hey to all Inkido fans!
It's a Thursday with DT Zanka and I'm sharing my first project made with Beautiful Memories 2 collection, yay!

I've picked the elegant sage papers from this line for this photo frame, dominated by sage and white.

The frame comes from a well known furniture store and is of the sort, that allows to frame a bulky page-there is a generous space between the front glass and the back side ( I removed the glass to take the photo)
The frame is 20x20 cm, which I really like, since it allows to use both sides of one paper in the same project;) They are beautifully coordinated so combining the patterns is a guaranteed success :) I added some die cuts using another paper from the same line. This time I picked the plain parts and played with shapes instead of pattern.

Thanks for stopping by today :)
Have a great day and your eyes open for our next challenge!

Gerry van Gent was born and raised in Bulgaria where she studied at a
Russian High School and graduated English Philology at the university of
Blagoevgrad. She worked as an English teacher and translator already
for a few years when she decided to study another language - Dutch.
Since 2002 she has been living in The Netherlands where she started a
family with her Dutch husband. Gerry is a full time mom to Alexander and
Leanne. Gerry has been involved into different hobbies like
knitting, embroidery, drawing and playing the piano. Since 2009 she got
seriously involved into paper crafting. She designs proudly for leading
companies in the paper crafting industry and she gives workshops when
the time allows her. She has been published in magazines and catalogues.Gerry`s
style is romantic, shabby chic and sometimes you can find touches of
vintage. She creates mostly scrapbook layouts 12" x 12" but you can
sometimes see her creating cards and altered items. Her main inspiration
comes from her kids but she also draws inspiration from the products
she`s working with.

Let me show you what Gerry made for us;

We love how she used Inkido products!

Dear Gerry, thank you so much for your lovely projects, we hope you will make some more for us in the future!

We have finally been blessed with a little bit of spring weather here, so that means the little ones are outside exploring! I wanted to wrap this sweet photo of my little girl with some equally sweet and beautiful Inkido papers. The birds and butterflies from the Beautiful Memories collection were just what I needed.

I used lots of layers of various papers, including some from the Spring Time collection as well. Some pretty Inkido flowers were the perfect touch.

I did a little subtle masking in the background and a bit of misting too, of course. I love to layer the beautiful cut out images from the Beautiful Memories Beige paper, and I did so on my tag below you will see, too.

Next up, my "Hello" tag..which was created inspired by the May challenge, to choose two of the three: birds, feathers, birdcages. I chose birds, and birdcages. I hope you will be inspired to play along, too!

As mentioned above, I cut some of the images from one one of the Beautiful Memories papers and created my layers from those as well as some scraps from the Old Rose paper. I created a sweet little bird scene with some wire and mini spools, some wooden birds, a large wooden birdcage I have had forever, and a cute little birdcage trinket. The base of the tag and many of the layers are stamped with a gorgeous Inkido script stamp.

Thanks for taking a look! I hope you will play along with our challenge, there is still time!
